| Baking Comments: |
Spelt flour has a lovely nutty flavour and a higher oil content than other varieties of wheat. Yeast tends to react more quickly with the enzymes in the flour leading to larger pockets of air which, if they burst can lead to deflated loaves, a phenomenon known as bakers tunnel. |
